Heat Transfer:movement of energy from a warmer substance to a cooler substance Radiation:transfer of energy through empty space Conduction:heat transfer by direct contact of particles Convection:heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid Density:a measure of how much mass is in an object Convection Current:the flow that transfers heat within a fluid
Outline
Radiation
transfer of energy/heat
transfer through empty space
Conduction
transfer of energy/heat
transfer by direct contact
Convection
transfer of energy/heat
transfer by fluids
transfer by convection is caused by temperature and density
density is measure of mass in an object
hot fluids move faster than cold fluids
fluid is heated in a cycle due to convection currents
convection current is the flow that transfers heat within a fluid
